So my  question to the list is are the plastic snaps as supplied by the  usual
suppliers reliable? Are they breaking sooner than they  should?

What has been your experience?  Comments?

TIA,

Jim, Just a comment by a fellow inhabitant of the Sun belt....but if you  car 
is going to spend any time at all outside or in a very hot garage, I'd go  
with metal.  Plastic doesn't last long in the sun around here.

63 TR4

As he stared at her ample  bosom, he daydreamed of the dual Stromberg
carburetors in his vintage  Triumph, highly functional yet pleasingly formed, 
perched prominently on top of  the intake manifold, aching for experienced 
hands, the small knurled caps of the  oil dampeners begging to be inspected and 
adjusted as
described in chapter  seven of the shop manual.
